Kernel privilege escalation via PVRSRV_MMap logic error
Published Jul 9, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024
Local privilege escalation in the PowerVR GPU driver for Android SoC allows local users to execute arbitrary code in the kernel. Google identifies incorrect logic in PVRSRV_MMap while processing GPU memory mappings but has not published the erroneous expression or patch. No additional execution privileges or user interaction are needed; successful exploitation runs code with kernel privileges.
